CFile help?

Check out this link

Like abhimanipal said go check out that website because it is really useful

Here is something I made to show how to read in, sort, then output some data from a text file to a text file.

//#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

struct PERSON
{
	string name;
	int number;
};

bool cmp(PERSON a, PERSON b) //used for sorting
{
	if( a.number > b.number )
		return false;
	return true;
}

int main()
{
	vector<PERSON> people; //holds the data read in

	ifstream in; //creates an in file stream
	in.open("input.txt");

	PERSON tempGuy; //holds data being read in
	while(in >> tempGuy.name)
	{
		in >> tempGuy.number;
		people.push_back(tempGuy);
	}
	in.close(); //closes the stream when done with it

	ofstream out; //creates an out file stream
	out.open("output.txt");

	sort(people.begin(), people.end(), cmp); //sorts the people based on number

	vector<PERSON>::iterator it;
	for( it = people.begin(); it != people.end(); it++ )
		out << (*it).name << " " << (*it).number << endl; //outputs people to text file

	out.close(); //close when done

    return 0;
}

"input.txt"

I know how to fstream, I am using MFC and it's not letting me hard code fstream... Anyway I can make fstream work?

I had never used MFC before and was trying to play around with it to get it to use ifstream and couldn't work it out.

However I came across this and it looks similar to what you want. here. Towards the end it shows reading in aswell.

Oh I get an error with my ios::in and ios::app, ios is not recognized.
